Heat Stress or Root Bound?

I have no idea whats going on with my plants this run. The last run I had 6 clones and they all acted the same...this time i'm running 3 strains and its a nightmare. Below are pictures of the Grapefruit and OG Kush #18 ... If anyone can tell me anything to help these ladies out I would really appreciate it. Temps are usually around 72-76 degrees but it spikes to 83 degrees the first hours and last hour of the day because I have to close my tent to sleep. Also I feel like they sort of look over watered but I don't think they are...I watered them yesterday with organic nutrients ( only 2nd time ive used nutes on them) and before that the last time I watered them was tuesday. Any other questions to help give a better diagnoses I can answer. Im hoping to transplant them into new pots tomorrow and hopefully switch them to flower sometime late next week.

I know very little as I just started growing myself.. But! Those pots do look a little small. You're temps should be fine since my room runs 85 degrees usually (small spaces and big lights ) and my plant is still growing well.

How often are you watering? I just had a plant do something like this and it was because I was under watering it!

You have any fans on them?

What is the medium they're in ?
What kind of lighting are you using ?
What type of nutrient specifically ?
These are the kinds of things one needs in order to give you some assistance.

I would put them in some bigger pots, water a little less And no nutes for about 2-3 weeks looks like i see some clawing of the leaves. They are kinda small still to be hitting with nutes. Get some earth juice catalyst. You can feed that with every watering. your watering should be about every 2 days but with smaller pots it may be different . Your plants look good dont sweat it. Make some minor adjustments and your good

-Roots Organic 707 soil
-400W MH
-I use the Go Box from General Organics (CalMg, Bio Root, BioThrive Grow, 1 drop of super thrive)
-It has been 29 days since they popped above soil
-I have two fans on them and also the carbon filter provides some additional air movement.

*The grapefruits look alright aside from the funky leaf color on the lower set of leaves
* The og Kush are the strange ones because aside from there leaf structure they are all different...1 is short and stunted looking another is stretched out pretty far and a third that is kinda inbetween both of those.
*Critical Sensi Star looks alright aside from some yellowing

(all plants have more droop or just sad look to them compared to my last run with the cheese where those plants seemed to perk up all the time)

Any more information I would be happy to provide

Ya I keep them in the small pots and then usually switch to 3 gal pots when I transplant them

idk try adding calcium magnesium

the older growth shows signs of overwatering, my guess is they don't have enough o2 in the root zone, or air movement in the tent to help evaporate the excess water. the poor root structure can't drink fast enough. I believe a good transplant will help ya man.

Thanks alot...Ya the plants arent drinking up the water very well...I can see some roots on the bottom of the pots drain holes but when i water they dont seem to suck the water up that fast which might be drowning the plants. I guess I just need to do this transplant and see how they rebound.

they'll do great man! They are not that bad as someone mentioned earlier. When you transplant check then roots for for things like color and smell, you want bright white and plump looking with little to no smell, signs of root rot are fishy smelling mush flat roots, off in color. Shit, when you get to this point just dm me a picture or two I'll do a root check up from Seattle

those girls are starving to death.

More watering or Nutrients or both? I held off on nutrients for the first two weeks and now i'm back to my normal nutrient feeding schedule (water, water, nutes) but I'm just not watering that much because my soil isn't drying on lower in the soil super fast. My last run of plants I was use to watering every other day...this run it seems like i'm watering every forth or fifth day. Like I said to the last person I plan on transplanting them and then after that hopefully I get that explosion of growth i'm looking for and they will start eating a lot more

starving my man feed em!!!

hit them with a stronger dose of nutes and see if they respond looks defficent in everything same em .... my first grow had ur probs u need more n,p,k and cal/mag 90% sure. ur watering may be over or under ill help u out but feed them .. what you using for nuts??

Id say the same but I bet those yellow leaves been on there awhile. Watch a yellow leaf for a day or 2 and then fix the problem and pluck it too see if it persists. You cant tell shit all whats going on when you leave yellow leaves on forever, js

I'm using the Go Box from general organics so I can def feed them pretty heavy without having to worry about burning them. I did just feed them with the BioRoot BioThrive and CalMg yesterday...all six plants cant hold a full gallon of water combined yet so I poured some of the water out but still mixed the nutrients like it was a full gallon. I did that yesterday morning and they do look a little better/more perky from yesterday if you can believe that. The pictures you are viewing are from this morning.

p.s you are on the right track, repot friend

Do any of you think I have a problem with stretching? I def had them way too hot too young and gave them alot of heat stress so I raised the light up pretty high. Its past the point now I think but I probably should have turned my ballast down to 50% for the first week or two
